Over the past few months, Sean has been struggling to make ends meet after his new job in the city didn't live up to its expectations.

Whilst his friends thought he was working, Antony Cotton's character was seen hiding from everyone in the memorial garden where it became clear that he no longer had a job.

After exhausting all his options of securing somewhere to stay and a new job, Sean will be seen stealing Kirk Sutherland's old tent and sleeping on the streets.

How did Sean lose his job?

Following the temporary closure of the Underworld factory, Sean went on to work at the medical centre but was sacked at the start of the year for breaching patient confidentiality.

Sean then went on to land a fancy new job in the city which he couldn't stop boasting about. However, the fancy new role didn't last long and Sean began to look for jobs at the cafe, Speed Daal and the Rovers Return.

Why didn't he return to his job at the Underworld factory?

At the time Underworld opened its doors again, Aidan Connor asked Sean if he wanted his job as a machinist back but Sean refused due to his latest job in the city.

Why did Fiz kick him out of her house?

After being asked to leave Angie and Jude's home after he accidentally deleted pictures of George, Sean moved in with Fiz where he agreed to do the household chores and look after Hope and Ruby.

Whilst the living arrangements worked well at the start, Fiz became annoyed that Sean wasn't contributing any money to the house.

Realising that she wanted to give her romance with Tyrone Dobbs another go, Fiz then asked Sean to find somewhere else to live.

What will happen to Sean?

Antony recently spoke about the devastating storyline and revealed what will happen when Sean reaches rock bottom.

"This story is a good few months, start to finish – probably three months. There’s a lead up to it with the job loss then to him finally having salvation. He ends up in a homeless village," the Metro reported him saying.

Sean will go on to meet a woman called Carol who he will save when she's brutally attacked.

In a bid to help her, Sean will sell his tent to Carol after thinking that his luck has changed when he finds out that Dev Alahan's friend is looking for someone to rent a bedsit.

However, things will take a dark turn when Sean will be beaten up during a violent altercation on the street after he tries to buy his tent back from Carol after missing out on the chance to rent the room from Dev's friend.

Realising that he needs urgent medical attention, Carol will take him to A&E where he will be forced to admit to being homeless.

Coronation Street continues on ITV, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
